Getting into Cryptocurrencies back in late 2017,
I immediately was drawn to Steemit for many reasons; starting an account under the S/N: Awakenedspirit; being new to cryptocurrencies did not write down the passwords or private keys and when my computer crashed while in Canada in May 2018 I also lost access to my Steemit account and have never been able to recover it since.
Having grown so much in so many ways since 2017, I began investing in cryptocurrency again May 8, 2019
Beginning to get into cryptocurrency again in May 2019, down almost $1100 of my all time high of my portfolio at that time was $2450.00 down to a mere 178.00 or 0.025 BTC in value I began learning, reading, watching all information on cryptocurrency, blockchain, finance, and economics slowing making back everything that I had so idiotically lost as a noob in the highly volatile market of late 2017.
MAY 2019 - JAN 2020 I invested 2200.00 into ETH @ 127 - 220/coin, buying around 12 coins worth.
Just learning to trade, learning to trade coins for coins instead of USD as many other trades all were doing, I began experimenting trading against both BTC and ETH while I kept investing in LTC as the time.
July 2019 I began really getting a hunger to continue trading A LOT MORE, I began really looking into whether BTC or ETH would make a larger splash in the market, which one would the better over all buy and which one would accumulate my the most profit in the long run; EASY answer - ETHEREUM.
So I invested 2200.00 USD into LTC and ETH
then sold all my LTC/ETH @ around .35 ETH
I then sold all my BTC and bought ETH/BTC @ 0.0177
leaving me with around 10-12 ETH at the time.
learning to trade against ETH - I began getting into trading
LINK/ETH
BAT/ETH
slowing building up more and more ETH all the way to 17 ETH from my original 12.
With around 1063 LINK at the time, waiting for ATH against ETH, but NOT being patient enough,
I foolishly SOLD all my LINK / ETH @ 16.75 ETH
where if I would have waited another month or two I may be able to have trade 1063 LINK for 51 ETH.
but I DIDNT.
So with around 17 ETH in JAN 2020 I decided upon a new strategy
TRADING 9.2 ETH into around 93 BNB coins.
TRADING 2 ETH For ENG/ETH
I began trading XTZ/BNB and ENG/ETH
up to 133 BNB from 93
up 12.5 ETH against ENG/ETH
MARCH 2020 PANDEMIC HAPPENED
leaving me broke again, now jobless, robbed for my paycheck SELLING SERVICES WITH AMAZON, and then threatened by my landlord, and ILLEGALLY EVICTED by him getting a restraining order against me, I found myself downtown getting arrested two days later having been caught up with 1500 other individuals breaking windows and stealing stuff from stores during the SEATTLE riots while I like many others were filming everything POLICE decided to throw everyone in jail ask questions later.
Found myself unable to leave the state, and yet without anywhere to go during the middle of a pandemic when NOT even any grocery stores nor the library was open or letting anyone use the restroom, nor charge any cell phones,
****you can not live a normal life in this society without using the restroom or charging a phone everyday****
still focused on trading crypto while living in the park all summer 2020 with 20 ETH in my wallet.
I ended up making around 300 USDT and 4.8 ETH in the month of AUG 2020 even while living in my tent at the park charging my phone at a day shelter and a portable solar charger I carried with me everywhere I went.
LATE AUG 2020
After remaining on the street even with 2200 in the bank from gov stimulus checks I could not find a place to live anywhere here in Seattle, I decided upon returning back with family in KC, Missouri for the time being.
While in Kansas City while partying with friends, I began talking to a cute woman online.
Having to still go back to court one last time I returned to Seattle, still chatting with her.
Having just takin a Cannabis Trimming job in Spokane, I finished court, recieved my 500 dollar fine and preceded to head East over to Spokane.
Staying in an Air BNB, working my weed job and still talking to the same woman over the phone, we made plans to get her from where she was up to Spokane, WA with me asap.
WE ended up meeting on Halloween 2020 in Spokane and spent a lovely week together as lovers and tourists.
unfortunately with THC (The Harvest Company) losing their two largest clients, they immediately laid off 5-7 people from the team including me the week after she arrived making me look rather foolish.
Not looking dumb enough, we decided upon visiting a friend of mine from Seattle in Puerto Rico, and ended up taking 3 long flights to the island and spend the next 15 days in the Caribbean.
with things not looking good in Puerto Rica, we decided upon visiting my family in KC for the rest of the holiday season to spend time with them while saving money.
so we make it back to Kansas City with friends and family, and because of the pandemic, everyone but a few friends were acting really weird around us since we'd been traveling a lot yet we not ill the least bit, kicked us out on chance we were ill anyhow, so we ended up staying with my sister for the time being.
After leaving her place, we decided upon heading East over to Ohio to visit her friends and family for the rest of the year.
spending Christmas freezing in our bedroom watching movies at her friends house in Ohio with 12F and light snow fall outside.
Having left Ohio she went to visit family in Kansas, while I flew over to visit another friend from KC living in Denver for the next several weeks before flying back here to Seattle.
talking about meeting back up with my lady in Kansas, while I was currently back in Seattle, we decided upon I picking her up from her Aunts and flying down to New Orleans to escape the rest of the Wintery season before Spring hit. So we rented a hotel a single block straight north of French Quarter for 10 days before deciding to call it quits on traveling back to the Caribbean and instead heading back to Seattle for work and stability.
So now back in Seattle, working at a bar, trading cryptocurrency, still doing the best I can to get by and make some money before going off to travel either with her or alone once again.
!! Stay turned for more exciting adventures in my life.
